England unveil schedule for blockbuster 2027 home summer
The 2027 international summer in England will be headlined by the Men's and Women's Ashes series.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have confirmed the Men’s and Women’s teams’ home schedule, with the five-Test Ashes series for the men's and the women's multi-format Ashes headlining a packed home summer.
Following their 4-1 crushing Down Under earlier this year, the Men’s side will begin their bid to reclaim the Ashes at Trent Bridge on 18 June before Tests at Lord's, Edgbaston, the Rose Bowl and The Oval.
The Rose Bowl will stage a men's Ashes Test for the first time, while The Oval will once again host the series finale from 29 July.
England Women, meanwhile, will launch their multi-format Ashes campaign with a one-off Test at Headingley from 24 June - the venue's first women's Ashes Test since 2001.
The rivalry will then shift to the white-ball leg, with three T20Is at Trent Bridge, The Oval and Emirates Old Trafford before a three-match ODI series at the Utilita Bowl, Lord's and Edgbaston.
The series comes after England and Australia met in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 Final earlier this month, where the latter reigned as champions.
Outside the Ashes, England Men will open their home season with a five-match ODI series against Pakistan before hosting Bangladesh in a one-off Test at Lord's.
Preparations for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027 will conclude with a white-ball series against New Zealand in September.
England Women will round off their summer with T20I and ODI series against Bangladesh.
The ECB have also confirmed that The Oval will host the ICC World Test Championship 2027 Final from 9 to 13 June, marking the second time the venue has staged the title decider.
